The grade 4 and 5 students have finished a virtual scavenger hunt using the app, Art Authority. Art Authority for iPad transports you to a real-world art museum filled with works by over 1500 of the western world's greatest artists, from ancient times to today. 100,000 paintings and sculptures, are organized into eight period-specific rooms, each room a gateway to a whole museum's worth of art.
The students used Art Authority to select famous works that exemplify each element of art (texture, line, color, shape, value, space & form). Next, they used their examples to create a presentation in Explain Everything that we exported as a movie.
We will begin watching their Explain Everything movies after the Easter Break! Students will also get an opportunity to evaluate their peers using Google Forms.
I have attached the rubric I will use to evaluate both grades.
SPECIAL MENTION: One of the groups finished so quickly they blew my mind! Terry & Liam in 501 were hard at work and finished quite early. As such, they served as my tech. experts for the remainder of the project! Way to go!
